Bioshock: The Collection - HD Remastered

Some of the best gaming of the last decade. Even the under-rated Bioshock 2 gives so much scope for creativity for players who don't blast through games asap. Towards the end of 2 the powers and possibilities were a sheer joy to play and replay. Bioshock is gaming gold.
 
Looking at the vids there doesn't seem to be much of a visual improvement? Seems to be mainly seaweed on the outdoor sections :confused:

I just read on PCgamer that if you can provide proof of purchase of the retail copy you can still get them for free on steam.

Well great, but how on earth am I supposed to prove my DVD purchase made nine years ago?! What sort of OCD cretin keeps receipts for that long? There must be another way. Surely a photo of the box, dvd and game manual with code on the back would be better????

I've done that with Origin games. Added some old DVD copies to my account so they can be downloaded as the discs weren't working. All I needed was a photo of the retail box, with the discs and the key visible, and my signature and date. Signature was odd as they wouldn't have anything to compare to but I went with it.

Maybe steam could do similar.

Hope so. I had to do this for gta 5 when my rockstar account went **** up for some reason when I updated to Windows 10. I have the dvd version of that too and had to send photos of the disc and manual with code to rockstar support, but also had an email 'receipt' I sent as it was a fairly recent purchase. There's no way I can track down my bioshock purchase, no idea where I bought it from!

I've got my receipt for bf1942, plonked it in the box behind the instruction book and forgot about it. 14 years ago :eek::p

Well i have read that if you contact them you can give them the cd key and they will send you a steam key to replace it. Best bet would be to ask them, the article links to their support ticket page.
 
One of only a small handful of games which used to get me waking up at silly o'clock just to play it. Can't wait!

The sound of a big daddy in the distance on a subwoofer making the room shake with it... memories. :D

This is why I always slide the receipt into the DVD case.

Actually, now you mention it, I used to do this with boxed game receipts. I am actually an OCD cretin - I'm annoyed with myself that for Bioshock I haven't still got it :D

I've sent a support request to 2k asking how I can get this done, so watch this space...

Nice, i will check Steam on Thursday :) I assume they will make the remastered version of Bioshock actually run on Windows 8.1 & 10. I've got about 8 minutes into Bioshock before it was rendered unplayable on Windows 10.
 
Regarding receipts, if you ordered on Amazon (I got the steel tin edition as it was a good price) then you can still access it online.

so if you own any bioshock game does it upgrade them on steam or do you need to own all to qualify ?

I can't remember the source, but I a comment from a 2k guy said that you'd get the upgrade for any that you own. It won't upgrade your existing game listing of Bioshock (2), just add an additional remastered version to your library. You can qualify for the free upgrade even after it's released.
